Ben Jones, the auctioneer, told BBC Radio Shropshire: “I’m sure we’ll have an influx of people coming in, which is usually the case post-auction anyway.
“You always take a gamble with these things, and sometimes you just have to see how they ride and play it out, really.
“[In the] last couple of minutes there were a few bids being placed, and you sit there thinking, ‘This could go a bit more’. We’ll have a chat to the bidders and speak to the vendor, and see if there’s something we can do.”
